St. Petersburg, Florida -- The State Attorney's Office has determined the shooting death of a 7-Eleven robbery suspect by an undercover surveillance detective was justifiable.

After an investigation into the incident that resulted in the death of Lamont Burgess, Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Brian McCabe concluded that Burgess' death was within the undercover detective's duty and was justified.

Burgess was involved in the armed robbery of a 7-Eleven store on Nov. 6. While he was fleeing the robbery down an alleyway, he was shot by the detective. He died at the scene and a shotgun was found laying next to his body.
